I have been wanting to build this for some of our vendor applications that I can find a pulse for. + up / good 0 issues / marginal / out of tolerance - down

Scraping SO?

Thanks for sharing. Q-Project - waiting for the subliminal qanon messages. I usually find myself with a heavier thumper, I might actually be able to stick with this thru the whole. b

To recover some screen space. Abbreviate the DoW to 3 letters - and even more questionable, rotate the DoW header text to 45 or 90 degrees. And centered. Then, just be evile, put the tab order of the fields going top-bottom then left to right. /s b

I have more than 2 WG54 just sitting waiting for me to do this. Not planning to connect them to anything - but may just to work on a honey pot. I was going to use them as WAPs, but tech has passed them by.

Your lighting reminds me of Stand-up Maths video. I don't remember him doing more than patterns across a Xmas tree. The follow-up video as others optimized his coding was interesting as well. I wired my tree with 500 LED lights and calculated their 3D coordinates. - YouTube[^]

I was trying to work up the courage to suggest MS Access - fearing that same heck. Bring your data, or let it build a template application for you. Visually design your query, then change to the SQL view and figure out what it is doing. You can write SQL that the visual designer cannot present (eg. sub-select). You cannot write all SQL (eg. cartesian join). Whilst you may not want to deploy it as an application (I have), it works to model or proof-of-concept for a business app. b

I can stand by my bookshelves reading the author and title on the back, recalling its contents from memory and smile, or shiver, or whatever the book as a whole provokes of feelings in me.

I like. Sometimes I read too fast and mis details, so a second read is wanted.

But there is a line from a Brit SciFi to the effect "I'm British, we know how to queue". Dent, Aurthur Dent.

I like that look. I try to write my SQL like that but have been leaving the dot-separators on the previous line in code. My thinking was to indicate that the line (command) was not yet finished. With this style, keeping each line short it is clear that each line is a continuation. With SQL, I have been cheating on that style to keep like fields on a single line: ... , fKey , LastName, FirstName, MidName , AddrLine1, AddrLine2, City, State, Country, Zip --, foo , bar ...

Find your way home? I am sure you know the address.

Proud dev using MS Access / VBA. Until they get used outside their expected domain - then you have to tell the users to find a grown up solution. I still use that hated Hungarian notation naming style when I get to. Is HTML considered a language here? Unproud - ok, I still use HTML tables to do page organization / layout.

Clipper was great (at, say, get). I am not remembering the linker that I used. I still refer to zap & pack. Brief was the editor - loved it. That set me up well for a FoxPro gig, and then on to MS Access.

So much more than gaming. Was told that some college classes were entirely online via PLATO. They showed us a touchscreen application for teaching fractions to littles. I don't know if the vector terminals I saw were the only format. Those were amber.

About that time, I went to an engineering open house at University of Illinois where I saw PLATO. It was used for class assignments and some entertainment. The vector graphic terminals were water cooled. Someone had controlled the solenoids controlling the valves and made a terminal shake in sync with the onscreen animations of a "Leisure Suit Larry" character.

To solve puzzles / problems, hoping to be a hero. I got to see big iron in a glass palace as an early teen, see a card sorter run, hear a multi-page burster run. I heard my dad solve OC7(s) and watch him design systems. I wanted a piece of that. I fell into an admin role, so most coding is in support of or extending functionality. Rabbit holes - Making and watching makers (mostly wood workers) Reddit & Pinterest eg. YouTube maker Blondihacks machining & building a steam engine (Pennsylvania A3 Switcher) YouTube category "idiots at work" Working on getting a 3d printer going and adding a laser to it, so will merge making and computing soon.

Our company supplied laptops have been getting smaller each year. "Too heavy" they whine. Give me a tool - reasonable screen, ports, and "hard disk". This round, the HP laptop has USB C, HDMI, audio, USB A. But it is nice and thin. We were issued a USB C "dock" (4 in ^3) that has 2 Display Port, VGA, audio, RJ45, x USB A & x USB C. Portable docks are available with differing sets of connections. Or you can collect and carry individual dongles for each connection. Yes, they boot very quickly, but the storage is not enough to have a full load of tools and local work.

Keep it handy for switching to when someone wants to shoulder-serf.

If it is a one-way function "gateway to", can we start sending the team to make it all better? The Googalfinchians, hotel/casino developers, tic-tok influencers, MBA, project managers, etc.
